  • Heartbreaking

    Such a brilliant podcast, well done for highlighting this disgraceful mistake, it’s unbelievable that they were convicted without any specialist in FGM examining the baby. If they were paying attention to the relationship between the baby and her parents and how she was with them and also how she ran around the waiting room in crumlin. So unfair that they did not get proper interpreters, so many mistakes made

  • Runaway Joe/ Where is Jon. Interminable

    Documentary on 1 is normally well put together and entertaining.

    Runaway Joe and Where is Jon however, are melodramatic, badly edited and drawn out instead of maintaining the usual high standards we have come to expect from RTE’s Doc on One. It sounds instead like the dross found in dumbed-down American made Gen-Z podcasts. Disappointing!
